Book excerpt: Excerpt from Consideration of the Plans Proposed for the Improvement of the Ohio River Mr. Ellett has considered this subject in connec tion with the regulation of the oods, and has shown from an accurate record of observations, extended over a period of six years, that the fall of water upon the surface drained by the Ohio is sufficient, exclusive of loss by evaporation, to maintain a regular current of sufficient depth for navigation throughout the year, and a similar condition of things would no doubt exist upon nearly all the other great tributaries of the Mississippi.

Excerpt: ... freely over its bed on a declivity of one foot per mile; and requiring S64,000,000 cubic feet per day, nearly eight times the quantity we have assumed to be abundant for the Ohio slackvvater! To controvert successfully, the opinion that there will always be an ample supply of water on the Ohio slackwater, should it ever be constructed, something more than a bare assertion to the contrary, with a mere reference to an inapplicable example, is looked for. In the present state of the discussion, the writer thinks he will be sustained by the judgment of every candid examiner, in the opinion that thisJirst objection, namely, want of water for the lock and dam system, has no reliable foundation. The question of water supply is a very important one, and we have endeavored in this case to put it to a severe test. 2. The second objection is, that the dams though only 8 feet high from pool to pool, will cause a vast increase in the elevation of the great floods, and consequently seriously damage property along the river, and destroy cities, mills, &c, &c Much stress has been laid upon this objection: so much, indeed, that Mr. Morris has ventured to announce an opinion that it is fatal to the plan. Granting nothing in this stage of the question on this point, the great practical question to be decided is, will such dams create any material additional rise in times of high freshets ? Mr. Morris has, to some extent, investigated it, but he confines his observations mainly to the, results of a particular case, on the Potomac River, and to one particular flood. He presents a profile of that river, showing the flood line of an 18 feet flood, and its effect with an 18 feet dam; from which it appears, that (he increased rise at the upper end of the pool...

This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report Upon the Improvement of the Ohio, Monongahela, and Wabash Rivers For these reasons I cannot but think that the course of the coal-deal ers of Pittsburgh is unjustifiable and contrary to public policy. They condemn the whole project in advance, and refuse to consent to the con struction of even one dam, notwithstanding the great local advantages to be gained by it, and notwithstanding the fact that, in case of failure, the dam could be removed without either injury or delay to navigation. I am far from desiring to do anything that will injure the coal trade, and my record will show that I have worked faithfully to improve the river, and especially its upper portion, so that coal tows might run with more ease and safety but I recognize the fact that the shipment of coal is not the only nor even the chief commerce on the Ohio River, that, however valuable ln its effect on other industries, the total annual value of the coal that descends the Ohio is but about $6, 000, 000, as compared with a general river commerce of about 8200, Under these circumstances I think that the objection of the Pittsburgh coal shippers should be overruled, and that the construction of the Davis Island dam should be kept steadily in view, and that every proper ef fort should be made to secure the requisite authority from the State of Pennsylvania.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Institute of Medicine study Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001) recommended that an interdisciplinary summit be held to further reform of health professions education in order to enhance quality and patient safety. Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality is the follow up to that summit, held in June 2002, where 150 participants across disciplines and occupations developed ideas about how to integrate a core set of competencies into health professions education. These core competencies include patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics. This book recommends a mix of approaches to health education improvement, including those related to oversight processes, the training environment, research, public reporting, and leadership. Educators, administrators, and health professionals can use this book to help achieve an approach to education that better prepares clinicians to meet both the needs of patients and the requirements of a changing health care system.
